Synopsis: In the late 19th century, Zandy, a hard-boiled California rancher, takes a mail-order bride. But Zandy isn't especially interested in love; instead, he wants a woman who can aid him in the daily struggles of country living. Hanna, the bride, arrives by stagecoach from Minnesota, and immediately angers Zandy by being older than she had stated in her letters. She's also more stubborn than expected -- but this toughness might be just what Zandy needs in a wife.
